Coffeesforclosers Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 So Miami didn't know he was lazy when they drafted him, drafted him, treated him like garbage, publicly tried to replace him, failed, then got mad when he stayed lazy and made no attempt to get better. That's some top notch HR work and Management right there. You can see why the Dolphins are a marquee franchise. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CorkScrewHill Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 The real tell will be how quickly and how fervently Tua's teammates defend him. If they don't that is a bad sign that Tua does not have the lockerroom the way you want a franchise guy to. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rampage Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 (edited) 58 minutes ago, RaoulDuke79 said: A day off is a day off, otherwise it would be called work. The problem is he hasn’t earned the right to play golf or do whatever on days off in season. Golf also is a day long event, it’s not like he’s sitting down to play Fortnite for a couple hours. Whether we like it not, this isn’t a 9-5 job. He has five months to do whatever he wants in the off-season before mini camp and training camp start. And they’re paying him a substantial amount of money on top of it. Tua is a garbage quarterback and has held that team back. Flores came up around Brady who even being a league MVP would put in extra work. That’s the standard he’s holding him to. And instead of trying to get better in his most critical years of development he’s showing no initiative in doing it and hanging his teammates out to dry.

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 This is very unfair. There is not much more work he really could have done. He already mastered the 4-yard pass. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loveorhatembillsfan4life Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 I believe Tua at a press conference (I would really have to dig for it) made a comment along the lines of I dont need to do anything outside of what’s asked of me.. I thought at the time what a weird comment… I guess when your used to watching Josh improvising and throwing his body on the line that kind of struck me as he’s not all in. I don’t know, Miami has treated him like crap too by never really shutting down the Watson stuff when it was out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBill Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 The Bills are so lucky to have chosen a once in a generation athlete that looks to improve himself at his craft. I just hope Josh stays hungry because at some point it has to become a little boring. There are people that just keep it going, Michael Jordan comes to mind. Jordan just hated to lose at anything. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billsfan1959 Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Flores isn't blameless in all of this. He was a big fan of Tua and in full agreement with the pick when they drafted him - and bears some of the responsibility for bringing Tua to Miami. If Tua had such a bad work ethic, didn't Flores have the opportunity to see that all through training camp and the first 7 weeks of the season before naming him the starter? Maybe he was under some pressure from management; however, the fact that he started Fitz for 7 games before replacing him with Tua, and pulling Tua out of 2 subsequent games showed Flores still had the last word in which QB played. I have no idea if these statements about Tua are true, but Flores certainly didn't help Tua's development with the way he handled the QB situation last year and during the height of the Watson to Miami rumors. I like Flores as a coach and I think Miami made a mistake in letting him go. But he has his share of culpability in what has transpired.

strive_for_five_guy Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Love hearing that Tua would rather play golf in his time off versus improve his craft. Yes, he can do what he wants in his time off. But if he’s a middling QB and doesn’t put the extra time in to get any better, that’s great for the Bills. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
